just want to make sure im giving good info....

But would a 40g breeder be too small for a single oscar with a rena xp3 filter? Or possible bouble ac 70s... Just wanted to know in advanced cause tomorrow im giving my mom her 40g tank and shes gona ask if a tiger oscar would fit. I would say no but i know the 40 breeders have a larger foot print than 55s so im unsure

I don't think so. The recommended minimum tank for one oscar is a 75 gallons and I know for some it is 90 gallon. I think a forty gallon is too short.

+ 1 to the above

As Oscar can get up to 14" I would think a 40 gallon breeder would be too small. I know they could still turn around in it, but I just think a single one would need a 4 foot tank to be comfortable.

I have never kept a oscar, that is just based on what I have read and seen from my friend's tank when she kept oscars.

Too short and too narrow. And you are on top of the game to ask first rather than asking later. Nice going.

I totally agree with the above. You could grow him out for a bit in it but as a permanent home it just won't do for the reasons stated.

Thanks guys thought it was too small... Might do a wicked dwarf cichlid planted... Thanks again all
